On behalf of Senator Lieberman,
I would like to propose that all of our campaigns agree to one nationally-broadcast,
media-sponsored debate a month for the duration of the campaign. For practical
scheduling reasons, we suggest that these debates begin in July.

If we all agree that the
Democratic primary should be one of ideas, let's all agree to appear regularly
before the voters on television in media-sponsored, neutral debates that
have the potential of reaching the widest possible audience. Doing
so would not only help ensure that the voters hear our voices but that
the Republican Party is not permitted to dominate the political debate
with its fundraising resources and with the media power of the presidency.

I urge all of our campaigns
to accept this challenge and to work together to make this happen.

We hope to be able to work
with you, with the media and with sponsoring organizations to organize
these monthly debates.
